@qmchenry Thanks for the great tutorial. This is much better than my random-yellings driving down the road. ;)

How do I turn it off? ... Before when I pressed and held the home button it shut down the application running.

Quinn McHenry · 5 months ago

There doesn't appear to be a way to turn it off (other than an option when the phone is locked with a passcode). But there is still a way to force quit an application that's gone astray:

Press and hold the power button (top of iPhone) until the red "slide to power off" slider appears (a few seconds). Then press and hold the home button for a few seconds until the home screen reappears.

Arg,.. I like the old way of just holding the home button while the application was running .. it used to shut down applications gone astray very nicely.

Oh well.

I was hoping that I would be able to rate my music using the voice prompt. Anybody else have that feature on their wish list??

how do I shuffle all songs from all albums?

Peter H. Muller · 4 months ago

It sounds great, but just an hour ago I received a call from a friend who said "it doesn't work very well at all, it dials everybody except the person I want to reach"

I told him, I discontinued it for the very same reason. I do understand Apple has another app doing the same thing that will work better, will check that out instead, this thing definitely doesn't work. By the way, I read about this auto dial thing in USA today, guy also didn;t think much of it. There you have three negative experiences.

Apple is great when creating iPhone 3G S Voice Control. It's wonderful.

Just found out voice commands also work through headphones, just hold down middle button on headphones and speak.
Don't even have to take your phone out of your pocket, cool!

How can I switch off the voice control for ipod?... the voice control prompt keeps coming up when I am running on the tread mill! Its very very annoying!!

My iphone voice control is going crazy. While walking the dog it will pop up without me pressing the home button, shuffle songs, skip songs, fastforward songs, pause them. It will interrupt songs without prompting all the time. What do i do? Can I turn off this feature?

I had the exact same problem... I think it's a faulty switch in the headset. I just got mine replaced and hope the problem will go away.

Hi Ross, Did you get any answers to your comments, I'm having the same problems however I keep calling people without knowing it and leaving long messages on friends voice mails, very annoying.

Vlingo is so much more accurate that iPhone Voice Control, and it's free. I used it very successfully on my Blackberry Bold, and it works just as well on my iPhone 3G S.
